indoors and outdoors Arrival Story:I saw a picture of Toonces on a cat rescue website and she looked terrified in the picture. I knew I had to go get her. I drove about two hours to south Georgia to meet her where she lived in a cage alone in a big shed that housed about 150 cats up for rescue. She had been there a month. When I got her out of the cage I sat down and put her on my lap. She immediately buried her head in my arm as if to hide. She was shedding so bad, i could tell she had stopped grooming herself. I brushed her and when I set her on the floor, she immediately ran into an open cage and tried to snuggle up to a random cat- I knew she was terrified. The shelter said she had been rescued from a hoarder. I couldn't adopt her that day, I had to come back next weekend. They said not to expect her to go up in the cat condo I had or be very social, as she will probably just spend all her time hiding. I didn't care, I knew I needed to get her out of there. As soon as I got her home, she made a beeline for under the bed. I gave her treats under there, which she would eat. I gave her a catnip pillow, and she started to relax and stretch out. By that night, she was running around like a rockstar. A few weeks later we started going on walks down to the creek. It has been 4 years and she is as happy as ever!Lives Remaining:9 of 9I've Been On Catster Since:
